Excellent observation, Bernd! Indeed, the grass is too high for January! The mystery continues. Perhaps Zelimir can tell us if there is anything in Lespiault and Forquignon's report that corroborates any of the features of Poyet's illustration. Here is a link to the original report (in French):

I knew that photo looked familiar but I couldn't place it. Sure enough It was the dust jacket of my copy of To find a Falling Star. Thanks It was driving me nuts. Mysterious as to why that painting ,or drawing, was chosen for his book. Wonder if his wife may have knowledge as to why?
